Visit from Grandma & Grandpa Becker

Grandma & Grandpa Becker came to visit this weekend. They arrived late Friday evening, after Miss Ava was already in bed. We were so glad that they came to visit and got to spend some time with Ava. Unfortunately, the weather was dreary and rainy all weekend so we couldn't do anything outside. Sat. morning we had Ava's pictures taken. She was giggling with Grandma in the morning, and as soon as Ang showed up to take the pictures there was not a smile to be found. She stayed stone faced for the next hour, and as soon as Ang packed up her camera and left Ava was back in smile mode. The little poop! So, she may not be smiling in her professional pictures, but we have our own pictures that show that beautiful smile!
The rest of the weekend was pretty low key. We went to a couple of garage sales, but most of them were ending since we got a late start and it was raining. We played a few games of cards (which the girls won all three times), went to church and brunch this morning, and just hung out. We hope that Grandma and Grandpa had a good time even though we didn't do anything real exciting.
It will be a busy upcoming week. I'm working evenings Monday through Wednesday which means Daddy is in charge those three nights. Aunt Darlene and Grandma Schutterle are coming up to visit on Thursday through Saturday. They will be watching Ava on Saturday morning since Nate and I both have to work. Ava is looking forward to getting so much attention again in just a few days. Mommy is looking forward to maybe getting a nap with the extra help here. :)

All clean (how can you not love those chunky little cheeks?)

Ava & Grandma sharing some laughs

Ava loves when Daddy holds her in the air and gives her lots of kisses

Ava has become quite the thumb sucker (especially when she is tired)

Grandpa has become a thumb sucker too. :)Grandpa & Grandma Becker with Ava after church. Note, this is not the dress she wore TO church. That one was covered in liquid poop. Nate got her out of the car seat and soon realized that she had a blowout when his hand was covered in Ava's present...not good!
